There’s no doubt that Bersin’s blunder could come back to haunt the Panthers.
Fells entered the contest after a regular season in which he posted five catches for 71 yards in 10 games. The Cardinals signed Fells, an undrafted rookie, in October.
Lindley, a three-year veteran, threw for 562 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in three regular season games.
